Answer 1

很久以前，一个村落里有一对兄妹，哥哥名叫太阳，妹妹名叫月亮。由于他们十分善良，经常把劳动成果分给穷人，招致了当地富翁的憎恨。
富翁原本想让穷人借他的钱，他好放高利贷，可是现在兄妹俩断了他的财路。于是富翁想方设法挑拨离间，像破坏他们的感情，但是都没有成功。
一天，富翁遇到一个能说会道的人，叫“骗你玩儿”。富瓮便指使他再去挑拨太阳和月亮的关系。“骗你玩儿”也是个坏家伙，于是答应了。“骗你玩儿”来到兄妹俩家里告诉他们说西天佛祖最近炼出了一种神药，喝了就能升天成神仙。但是这种药只能以个人去求，佛祖不会给两个人。兄妹俩都想体会一下做神仙的滋味，于是他们听信了“骗你玩儿”的话，第二天天亮就分别从两条路向西天行进，约好谁先求到神药，谁就先做神仙，再想办法帮助另一个。
“骗你玩儿”提前出发装扮成一位智叟等在太阳的必经之路。太阳急匆匆地走来了，“骗你玩儿”迎上去吓唬他说前途充满艰难险阻，劝他不要去。太阳听了丝毫不动心，坚定地继续向西走去。“骗你玩儿”见太阳不上当，第二天又化装成一位看上去仙风道骨的老爷爷，追上太阳，劝说他不要去西天。太阳见又有人劝他，脚步不仅慢下来。但是他没有停止，依然向西方走去。“骗你玩儿”见时机已到，又在第三天化装成一位老奶奶，再次劝说太阳。太阳见这么多有经验的老人劝自己，再加上出发几天的疲劳，居然相信了“骗你玩儿”的鬼话。但是，他又不想轻易放弃升天的机会。“骗你玩儿”看出了太阳的心思，就拉住太阳的手，说：“你不是想升天吗？我教给你一个法儿，准行!”太阳一定来了兴趣，忙向“骗你玩儿”请教。“骗你玩儿”故作神秘的说：“我知道你有一个妹妹‘月亮’。她不是还在走向西天吗？你等她回来把她求来的药偷来不就行了吗？”太阳开始不忍心，但不久就说服了自己。他跟“骗你玩儿”来到妹妹回来必经的路口一起住下，等妹妹求到升天神药回来。
很多天过去了，太阳终于等到了妹妹。当时正是深夜，太阳趁月亮睡着了偷走了她的升天神药。太阳这是第一次偷东西，不免有些心慌意乱，吓得包袱也顾不上那就狼狈逃跑了。太阳跑了一会儿跑不动了，就拿起升天神药吃了下去。太阳立刻觉得浑身轻飘飘地升上了天空，但马上觉得火辣辣的，身上发出万道金光。太阳吃药时刚好天亮了，于是他踩着祥云好奇地在天空中观察地上的样子。
再说月亮，她一觉醒来，发现哥哥和升天神药都不见了，就追了出去。太阳看到这一情景，觉得很愧疚，可是有没有办法，就指点月亮再到西天佛祖那里想办法。月亮只好哭着喊着再次千辛万苦走向西天。她的遭遇打动了佛祖，佛祖把她从地上托向天空，由白云送到太阳身边，告诉太阳全身发烫是对他的惩罚。月亮却心疼哥哥，回到佛祖那里祈求佛祖给他解药让哥哥摆脱痛苦。佛祖被月亮打动，给了她升天神药和太阳的解药??一支金针。月亮立即吃了升天神药去找太阳。太阳远远看到月亮手持金针追来，以为要扎自己，就躲到一座大山后面。地上的人们见了，就说：“看啊，太阳落山了。”从此，就有了“落山”这个词。当月亮跑到太阳升天的那个位置时，天黑了。月亮就太阳心切，不顾一切去追太阳。佛见了，就又取来升天神药化成水，变成一颗颗亮晶晶的小星星。小星星们提着灯笼走到月亮身旁给他照明。从此，天空就有了太阳、星星和月亮。
就这样，日复一日，年复一年，月亮和太阳在不停地捉迷藏。不过，兄妹俩也有见面的时候，那就是人们说的“日食”，每到那一天，太阳总是用一块黑布挡住脸，不愿让人看到他涨红的脸。

Answer 2

Palladium

when ilus had first built his new seat，the city of troy， he prayed zeus to show some sign of blessing for it． his prayer was heard，and a wooden image of pallas- a-thena fell from heaven to within the walls of the city． known as the palladium， the statue afforded the city safety and protection． at religious meetings of the goddess it was carried through the city streets amid joys and songs of praise．

after the flames of war had spread for ten years before the walls of troy， a prophet foretold that troy could never be expected to fall as long as the palladium was treasured by its people ．in order to steal it out，odysseus and diomedes slipped into the capital one night in disguise ，known to none but hellen．the bad woman took out them to he cuba， the queen of troy， at whose feet odysseus immediately bowed down and asked formercy．the queen granted their request，and with the help of helen，they successfully brought the image back to the greek camp at dawn．

later it was said that aeneas got hold of it and carried itwith him to his new land，where it was preserved together with the goddess'' fire．

雅典娜的神像

当伊拉斯最初建造特洛伊城时，他祈求宙斯赐福于这座城市。宙斯听到祈求后，一尊木制的智慧雅典娜像从天堂落到了城墙里。人们将它称作雅典娜神像。这尊木像担任着保卫和看守城市的任务。在祭神的宗教仪式中，它在欢快的气氛和赞美的歌声中被抬着走过城市的所有街道。

在特洛伊建成之前，战火已弥漫了十年。一位预言家说：只要雅典娜的神像受人民的爱戴，特洛伊城就永远不会衰灭。为了将神像偷出城，一天夜里奥德修斯和狄俄墨德斯乔装改扮潜入首都，这一切只有海伦知道。这个可恶的女人把他们介绍给特洛伊皇后赫克犹巴。奥德修斯立刻跪倒在她的面前乞求怜悯。皇后答应了他们的要求，在海伦的帮助下，他们在拂晓的时候成功地带着雕像回到希腊营地。

据说后来埃弥斯得到了雕像并带着它到了自己的新领地。木像和神火一起被保存在这块土地上。

古希腊神话故事:阿尔特弥斯

Artemis

apollo drove his golden carriage across the heavens during the day，admired as the sun-god．artemis also raced across the sky in solemn style at night，respected as the moon-goddess．sitting in an airy carriage drawn by milk white horses，“the queen of wide air” gave off silver light all over the sleeping world below．though she remained single all her life，the maiden heart of the goddess was at least for once excited as she saw the beautiful youth endymion sleeping．

she was pure and fair and calm．she was the example of maiden modesty and grace．just as apollo represents manly beauty，so artemis stands for feminine purity and virginity ．as their patron goddess she took it as her duty to protect marrying girls and young women in trouble．it was her altar that those maidens turned for love and happiness．

the twin sister of apollo was also the goddess of hunting and wild life ．dressed in a short hunting-suit coming up to the knee and followed by a team of noisy lovely fairy maidens，artemis had always her bow of pearl and shining arrow with her and travelled in the woods in search of wild animals．when she felt hot and tired she would retire to a spring to take a bath．it was here that young actaeon accidentally came and suffered cruel treatment at the hands of the goddess．indeed，the goddesscould be thoroughly heartless and stopped to be lovely as soon as the bad side of her nature got the upper hand in her．the sadthing of niobe was just a case in point．

阿尔特弥斯

白天阿波罗驾驶着金色战车穿越天空，被仰慕为太阳神。晚上，阿尔特弥斯以庄重的姿态飞越夜空，被敬仰为月亮女神。坐在乳白色战马驱动的空中马车中，这位“广阔天空的王后”向沉睡的大地散发出银色的光芒。她终身未嫁，但至少有一次当她看到英俊的恩底弥翁酣睡时，女神萌发了爱慕之情。

阿尔特弥斯心灵纯洁，容貌娟秀安祥。她是少女端庄娴雅的楷模。如果说阿波罗代表了男性美，那么她则象征着女性美——贞洁。作为守护神，她把保护困境之中的待嫁女子当作自己义不容辞的责任。少女们都来到她的圣坛前祈求爱情与幸福。

作为阿波罗的孪生妹妹，她也是狩猎女神。她身穿及膝的短猎装，有喧闹可爱的仙女尾随身后。阿尔特弥斯总是手持珍珠色的弓和发亮的箭，在林中漫游，寻找猎物。当她又累又热时，就来到泉水旁沐浴。而当阿卡同无意间来到这里时，却遭到了女神的虐待。事实上，当凶残的一面占了上风时，女神就会变得残酷无情。阿卡同的遭遇正说明了这一点。

古希腊神话;潘多拉
After the stealing of fire，Zeus became increasingly unkind to men．One day he ordered his son Hephaestus tobuild an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay．He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts．Among others，Athena clothed her in an attractive coat and Hermes gave her the power of telling lies．A charming young lady，she was the first woman that ever lived．Zeus called her Pandora．Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift．The gift was harmful to men．
Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present．So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus，brother of Prometheus．The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her，and Epimetheus happily received her into his house．He had quite forgotten Pometheus' warning：never to accept anything from Zeus．The couple lived a happy life for some time．Then trouble came on to the human world．

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living，Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus．He had warned his brother not to open the lid．Pandora was a curious woman．She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask．One day，when Epimetheus was out，she lifted the lid and out itcame unrest and war，Plague and sickness，theft and violence， grief sorrow，and all the other evils．The human world was hence to experience these evils．Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out．So men always have hope within their hearts．

偷窃天火之后，宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增。一天，他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。其中，雅典娜饰之以华丽的衣裳，赫耳墨斯赠之以说谎的能力。世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎，因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物，因此宙斯称她为潘多拉（pander：意为煽动）。

宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容绝美，见者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠，而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活，但不久灾难却降临人间。

当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候，他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟弟不要打开桶盖。潘多拉好奇心强。她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物，这使她感到十分懊恼。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外，她打开桶盖，从桶里跑出的是不和与战争，瘟疫与疾病，偷窃与暴力，悲哀与忧虑，以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被关在桶口，永远飞不出来，因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。
